Slow Cooker Italian Beef Cross Rib Roast Recipes

BEST EVER SLOW COOKER ITALIAN BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Place beef chuck roast into a slow cooker and scatter onion quarters around the meat. Pour the beef broth over the meat and sprinkle the au jus mix, Italian salad dressing mix, salt, and black pepper over the roast.
• Cover cooker, set on Low, and cook until meat is very tender, 6 to 8 hours.

SLOW-COOKER SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. In batches, brown ribs on all sides; transfer to a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Add carrots, broth, thyme and bay leaf to ribs., Add onions to the same skillet; cook and stir over medium heat 8-9 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and tomato paste; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Stir in wine. Bring to a boil; cook 8-10 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Add to slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until meat is tender., Remove ribs and vegetables; keep warm. Transfer cooking juices to a small saucepan; skim fat. Discard thyme and bay leaf. Bring juices to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Return to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened; press cancel. If desired, sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. Serve with ribs and vegetables.

TINK'S CROCK POT ROAST

Steps:

• Arrange potatoes, onions and carrots in bottom of crock pot.
• In a small bowl, combine celery salt, oregano, thyme, sea salt & pepper.
• Massage the spices into the roast and place the roast atop the veggies.
• Toss in the bay leaf.
• Pour beef base and water mixture (or beef broth) over the roast and veggies.
• Put the lid on the crock pot and cook on LOW setting for approximately 6-8 hours or until roast and veggies are tender.
• Optional: For gravy you can stir in the flour and water mixture in the last 30 minutes of cooking time and turn the crock pot up to High setting.
• I prefer to remove the meat and veggies from the crock pot and pour the liquid into a saucepan. Bring to a slight boil and slowly pour in flour and water mixture while stirring constantly. Bring to a full boil and cook and stir until it thickens up to your liking. About 3-5 minutes total.
